After reading LiquidBunny's post I hope this will be the last time a qualification is done over ladder. Better just do open qualifications like they do in the banned nation.

dear Starcrafters, better play standard from the beginning to the end, or Blizzard gonna suspend you

...this is so "1984"!


EDIT:
Even though I don't like Major's personality at all, I'm 100% with him on this and I wish him well.

Well just send them all they are asking for

You! Go practice!

You should be scared now, you know, in this atmosphere, if you lose to Mana, somebody could say, you did not need to qualify anymore and wanted to help your friend ...

This means that Blizzard's personal sponsorship to Major is now going to Kelagod.

That is long brah, this is a long thread. Actually, that is just my copy pasta excuse.

Anyway, I went back and it read it and it is irrelevant.

I can go 1-10 against someone and lose 90 ladder points. But if that one win is a free win they gave me, I should have lost 100 ladder points. And that 10 ladder points could matter, I could beg them to give a free win for ladder points if he is already qualified, ect...


And Nerchio, aren't you about to play MaNa? Or is it not really live? Good luck!

Comparing the reactions on both threads i can see how a sizeable (or maybe more vocal) part of the community is just trying to defend the players they like and attack the one they dislike, not really caring about what is fair, who is gulty or whatever.
One is defended, other is attacked. Same lack of evidence but only MajOr claimed to be innocent.

I believe MajOr until its proven otherwise. As for MarineLorD, i feel bad for him, but he must be punished if he is guilty.


The community is entitled to its opinion. Whatever we believe or who we side with is not really important. I won't even start a debate about how bad a ladder based qualification probably is (but yeah I tend to agree with Nony).

What is the source of tension and all the drama is how badly and differently Blizzard handles the issues and how to communicate about them. Bly lost on purpose and arranged its seed in previous WCS season? No problem. Mlord and DnS cheat the system? Insta-DQ without much showing evidence (is it that hard to try to be transparent?). Bunny has some suspicious wins around the time of lock? Blizzard says nothing, Bunny has to go out of his way to explain what happened (props to him, but it should have been up to Blizzard to do the comment). Major has suspicious behaviour? Insta-DQ without event asking the player.

Blizzard's behaviour is inconsistent and messy, their communication is pretty terrible and parasited by the players'. There is obviously something wrong at Blizzard, some people there are NOT doing their job. And I mean the ones who make the call and write what they report to the players and/or the community. If they want to do the ruling in WCS, fine by me but they should not do it half-assedly. I don't know, it is that hard to try to follow a sensible protocol for starters? Such as:
- contact players investigated
- investigate and tell them to shut up in the mean time
- once it's settled, make the call, write the statement to the community and provide some evidence



Blizzard doesnt need to show you evidence. Its only between the player and blizzard. Also players have most certainly the rules already. If not you can be assure that the rules of last year count.

If proplayer received the rules after blys action, then thats the point when the rules count.

I have no idea why this community thinks, blizzards need to inform anybody about anything. Are you doing the same in real life?

Also ladder qualification wanted the community. Not blizzard. But i am sure, you will now say, that they shouldnt do what the community says. Either way you will always find a way to blame blizzard.


I am their customer and their fan dude. Blizzard does not need to provide me evidence indeed, but I at my own personal level sure as hell will ask for it anyway if I feel it is the right course of action and make sure by writing and voting with my money that they change their mind. Things do not have to stay wrong. And yeah I tend to do that for what is important to me in real life, it is a shame you probably don't given your wording.

I have no idea what you are talking about for the rest, Blizzard has done both some nice and terrible things recently, so I'm not sure what you are on about. So how about you shove your passive-aggressive statement in your own ass and focus on the matter itself?

really feeling sorry for you. but I am sure, they will not take it back, then they would lose their face even more as completely incompetent. But let's hope they will not disqualify you from anything else ...

To be honest, unless Blizzard clearly set a rule regarding this, they should give Major a free pass and set a rule clearly on this and prominently display it to all players so this doesn't happen in the future.

I heard the WCS rulebook wasn't even done for 2016 though, so I don't know what is happening.

Sure, but that isn't a problem with the ladder, it is a problem with the tournament format.

If the ladder is going to be something beyond a practice arena, then it needs to have rules against purposely throwing matches, just like a tournament should.

But I personally think ladder shouldn't be a qualifier for anything, ever.

I agree with the issues in the protocol.
But my point was about the inconsitency in the community reaction. Sure, the community is entitled with its opinion, i never standed against it. I also won't point fingers to individuals.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/507356-major-disqualified-from-copa-américa-2016-season-2?page=6#103

^Basing myself on what I read from that post, I 150% support Major in his current predicament.

What Blizzard is doing is absolutely nuts. The ladder qualifier is the most ridiculously dumb thing ever if you can get banned over so little. Is there more compelling evidence?

Absolutely atrocious Blizzard, absolutely atrocious.

Marinelord and DNS probably also got banned over some dumb technicality as well. You know what I'm going to take back everything I said in that thread.

I think Blizzard needs to seriously re-evaluate what they're doing to Starcraft as an eSport.

^Good PPN quote above mine.

I left a game early today because my phone rang and the person refused to let me pause, should I report this to blizzard?

So you now support the WCS system? Because I'm pretty sure that's what almost all your posts in that thread were about.

If what you stated is true, and i believe until its proven wrong, then its indeed bullshit.
